it’s two weeks before the end of the school year, and somehow, everything feels heavier than usual. you and christopher have always been rivals — not enemies exactly, but close enough that it might as well be. every test, every project, every class discussion turned into a silent challenge between you two. it was kind of thrilling, the way he’d always look at you like he had to win.

but last week, you went too far.

he was the star soccer player, envied by most — and loved by many. your rivalry ran deep, and maybe for you it felt like something more. something unrequited. because all these years, so many girls he kissed, and none were you. then at the last soccer game of the season, with all your mixed feelings, you threw away the jersey he gave you. you thought he’d just brush it off, or say he could always give his jersey to another girl — but no. his expression faltered, and he left looking hurt.

so now you’ve got two weeks left before school ends — to weeks to make it right. and you have no idea how.
